Separated at Birth?

the original and the replica

Lindsay Lohan photographed by Bert Stern for New York Magazine posing as "Marilyn" during her The Last Sitting (which was also shot by Stern).

Is it just me, or is this mind-bogglingly bad?

Look closely, and you can see exactly why simply by the expressions in each of their mouths.

I had been thinking the same thing earlier; call me jaded, but La Lohan doesn't come close to the personality that was Marilyn.

At the risk of being common, I just don't get it. I don't understand when Lindsay Lohan became an icon. I don't understand why photoshoots need to be re-created shot for shot. And I don't understand how that goofy blonde wig could ever be sexy.

Marilyn knew who she was and had very obvious persona (ahem, brand), but I have no idea who Lindsay is anymore ... if I ever did.

I wish I had a well worded response to these photos.

But the best terminology my brain can muster for this photo shoot is that "It's Lame"

Lohan is a bone rack compared to Monroe. I've heard so many entertainment TV personalities calling this a dead ringer. A cheap imitation from my eye. Just compare the lips, Lohan is tragic.

Lindsay would be a closer dead ringer to the other Marilyn .....................Manson.
